International Cookie Mail

One of the teachers that I work with asked me if I could make angel cookies for her because she has an aunt who loves angels and she wanted to surprise her with cookies for her Birthday. The amazing thing to me about this story is that she picked up the cookies from me and then packaged them up and shipped them all the way to her aunt in the Netherlands!! Never in a million years did I think my cookies would make it all the way around the world. I feel truly honored that she felt my cookies were worth shipping for such a special gift!!

I wasn't sure how to do the mouth so I tried to make them look like they were singing... : )

Bikini Cookies

I found this cookie cutter and I just couldn't resist! Awhile back I was hosting a Lingerie shower and I looked everywhere to find bra and panties cookie cutters... I had no luck then but when I found these recently I was so excited I just had to buy them. Since it's summer time I decided to experiment with Bikini's but I would love to do cookies for a Lingerie shower one of these days!!

Cookie Cupcakes

These might actually be my favorite cookies I have ever made!! I found this cupcake cookie cutter awhile ago but had no reason to make them. So, after making the "thank you" cookies I decided it was time to play and experiment. I had some extra dough so I made some cupcake cookies just for fun. I was so pleased with how they turned out, who doesn't love cupcakes? Cupcakes combined with cookies... even better!! It actually worked out perfectly because I was going to be seeing 3 people with birthdays in the following days so they each got some Happy Birthday Cupcake Cookies. : )

Say "Thank You" with Cookies!!

Sometimes you just need a little something to help you say "thank you" to someone who has blessed you. What better way to do so than with a tasty treat!?!? ; )

Thank you Joy and Sean for being my number one cookie supporters!!! I heart you both!!

King Arthur Birthday Party

These were for the grandson of one of the teachers I work with. His name is Arthur and he turned 1 so they decided to have a King Arthur Party. My Grandma was staying with me for the week so she helped me and kept me company while we prepared 100 cookies

for this special party.

Pumpkin Scones

Other than cookies, scones are truly one of my favorite things to bake!! I have a wonderful old fashioned scone recipe that I love to make but recently I branched out and made some pumpkin scones. I know it's not Fall but I simply LOVE pumpkin and I decided to make them even though it was Spring! I think the pumpkin scones at Starbucks are simply amazing so I went to google and typed in Starbucks pumpkin scones and I came up with this recipe. They were sooooo good and honestly just as good as the ones that really come from Starbucks. Here's where you can find the recipe...

I just wanted to use the ingredients I had at home so I didn't end up doing the hazelnut glaze but it didn't mater... they were still super yummy!! : )

Sports Cookies

With the help of my very good friend Leanna I made 150 cookies for the church last week! It was a busy week but I was very happy with the way these cookies turned out!
